The attack on the open air techno/punk music festival and at least one orthodox Jew at Markfield Park, London yesterday evening by a group of Polish neo-Nazis and hooligans connected to the Zjednoczeni Emigranci Londyn group got us thinking. What other contemporary examples are there of fascists moving abroad, becoming immigrants themselves, and then getting involved in local far-right politics? We can think of the Turkish Grey Wolves whose members and supporters and have been involved in homophobic and anti-Kurdish attacks in Berlin and other German cities. As far as we know, they have no working relationship with the NPD or any other German far-right groups. Also attempts by Greek immigrants to set up branches of Golden Dawn in New York and Brisbane. In Australia anyway, the local far-right scene have tried to build links with the Greek fascists. Can you think of anymore? Its an interesting topic.
